Maybe I never heard about this guy.......

Can anyone introduce this player to me?

This is from his wikipedia page:

"2x All-Star selection (1962, 1963)
World Series champion (1962)
Gold Glove Award winner (1965)
1962 AL Rookie of the Year"

It is also a /15 card and possibly there are many people building that set who need that card and are afraid that it won't show up again anytime soon.

Tresh is the subject of one of my favorite entries in The Great American Baseball Card Flipping and Trading book (whatever it's called). Something about his career unraveling geometrically like an ill-made suit. I'll exercise journalistic copyright license and post it later. Buy the book, anyway. But in any case, it's a rare card of a Yankees rookie from the tail end of their glorious epoch. The price is eye-opening but not really shocking.

He was a Yankee in the 60s.

My Dad, who grew up watching the Yankees in the 50s and 60s says Tresh was hyped in New York as the next great Yankee after Mantle.
Tresh was good for a few years, but never came close to living up to the billing.
He was a great autograph signer through the mail before he died last year.
